Working on a bunch of cards for PK Cards right now, including this one I just wrapped up.

Almost everything I've done professionally in the last year has been vignettes and concept images (monsters, landscapes, etc.) I've done very few actual finished images that include multiple figures, compositions, etc. Seems like all that is about to change, and wow am I enjoying it. I didn't realize how much I'd missed proper, fully realized illustrations until I started cranking them out again, and I think my delve into Single Figure Land has helped me focus my rendering and painting to produce better overall images.

In addition to the snakeman above, I'm working on two "Power" cards for the same set. One for a pair of sandals that lets you fly over fire, and another for an "Exhausting campaign" that wears people down. I'll let you guess which is which.

On a related note, I guess I just love streamers right now. Next up: Ribbon Dancer arena of Death!

Been putting some time into the World of Ireta RPG again, including some shiney new concept art.

A bit of a firest look at this aspect of the world, we've been concepting the visual style of some of the combat mages of the scenario. The fire-wielding casters of the world, in particular, have become a passion of mine.

A lot of their costume design is based on clothes worn by metalworkers and blacksmiths. A key aspect of magic in our scenario is that magic users do not have immunity to the magic they fling around. Thus the prudent (and thus living) fire mages wear appropriate protective gear to protect their hands and eyes from the dangerous heat of their own attacks. Hair is, unfortunately, a common casualty.

Per a request over at RPPR (and because my players haven't run across them yet) my next zbrush printable is a Yithian, the conical version. I gave him glowy eyes because... well, because I can. So there.

Playing around with Zbrush and made this Cthulhu Beastie. The Bloody Tongue aspect of Nyarlethotep.

Going to try and upload this mother to Shapeways and make a print of him. Should make a nice sculpture for a dining room table or other public space.

Edit: The print is now available on shapways HERE. It's about 4.5" tall, and pretty much solid. A flexible plastic print is about $100. If that's a bit too much, a less detailed (and slightly more fragile!) "sandstone" print is $70. I'm going to be trying to make a mini version that's a bit cheaper, but Meshlab is giving me a hard time.

For RPPR again. I''ve really started to enjoy these pieces as a place to relax and experiment. The host, Ross Payton, is very cool about letting me send him really random stuff as long as it's related to the story at hand.
